Finally hit ONEDERLAND !!!!!
After only losing 10 during opti and losing 8 the first 10 days I stalled I weighed myself today and the stall finally broke! 199.2 I cant tell you how happy I am. Ive met with the np,nut and Dr Aarts all my blood work and nutrition are perfect they say all is great to keep doing what i'm doing but I can honestly say I didn't expect the weight loss to be so slow. I was prepared for a stall around the three week mark, mine started at the 10 day mark, but I wasn't mentally prepared to only lose 10 pounds the first month. Maybe my expectations are to high, all the experts tell me to be patient but its so hard. hopefully I will be on a roll now. I also wanted to thank everyone on this board, I honestly have learned so much from you all. Its truly amazing to have a support system fully of people that have gone or are going through the same struggles. Thanks again...Hugs

That's great, congrats! I know how you feel about the slowing losses - I've been going up and down the same few pounds lately. It's frustrating but I know it's just the body adjusting to our new lifestyles!
